$('a').hide(); // the “a” stands for the anchors in the document, syntax is similar to CSS selectors
$('body').mousemove(function() {
$('a').fadeIn();
});

Very simple and non-tested example.

it works here from few weeks, it's very annoying in my opinion.
I didn't notice the mouse effect only the fadein, probably because usualy I don't move the mouse. :)

On Google's blog, they said most people come there to do search so they gave them just the search box and, in most of their tests, users preferred it. Moving the mouse gives you everything else.

this stupid fadein take about 20% of the time of the search and I use more then 5 hours a day google that means I spend one hours waiting.
Add this to another two "improvement", regional and personalized search, :)

I forget, google also have also some good news, :)

Why are you waiting for the fade in? It's not for you if you're only there to search.

I don't wait but I can't use it either until it finish, because it lose few chars from what I type. I guess that doesn't matter::

Internally, a large number of Google employees have been using the new homepage. They have come to really like it — it represents our focus on great search yet helps searchers efficiently access all of Google's products. Like the new supersized search box we launched several months ago, this change is one that is very noticeable at first, and then quickly becomes second nature. We hope you like it!

There's something else wrong then cause that's not how it works and I don't see that problem.

It strikes me as bizzare. Are there too many Google employees or something?

In the biz we call this fluffery... recently I've also heard the term "gold plating"... adding features to applications that don't enhance productivity; it's what coders do when they've done everything there is to do but there is still 3 hours left in the day.

Honestly, I don't understand what there is to prefer or even like. With the links, the search box is still there, readable, usable, and recognizable to all. The style of the page has always been minimalistic, so it's not as if they're really removing useless clutter. When I'm navigating to websites, searching, and doing other things on my computer, rarely is my mouse stagnant. It's a stylistic change that does not really enhance the user experience. To me, it's just added fluff. I neither like or dislike it.

Why are you waiting for the fade in? It's not for you if you're only there to search.
Load up Google, begin typing, and move your mouse while typing. There is a slight hiccup in the flow, at least on my work box. I'm guessing that this hiccup could be greater if your browser is already eating up CPU time for other intensive pages (Flash games?). But then the question is, why would anyone be moving their mouse while they type? Haha.

I've tried reproducing the slight stall in typing while it fades in, but I haven't been able to reproduce the first test. So I'm equally as stumped to what you're experiencing, oesxyl.

I like it. The point is the emphasis on the search. If you need the other stuff on the homepage, it's there. No idea what's happening to you, oesxyl; have you tried cache clearing?

there is not a cache problem, poor implementation as usual, :)
they call focus after all that garbage and you have no choice, you must wait, :)
this can be fixed, but the biggest problem is in management.
If somebody decide that google users need this is clear they have no idea why people use google and not yahoo or bing. Autocompleting slow down the interface but at least it add some functionality.

Wait? Is this staying? Or are they going ahead with the re-design/layout they came up with a while ago?

hm, I hope will go. About gizmo, I don't know why do you think they give up, :)
if you click on show options after a web search you will find something similar or I'm wrong? Anyways in this case you have an alternative, you can use it or not, is your choice.
